Felipão won an offensive option for the duel with Botafogo-SP on Friday. Forward William Pottker, hired last weekend by Internacional, had his contract registered with the CBF IDB and is available for the match in Ribeirão Preto.
Asked by Luiz Felipe Scolari, the 26-year-old striker becomes an alternative to Marquinhos Gabriel, for example, who has been widely criticized, despite the team’s recent triumphs. Pottker did two training sessions with the squad and, this Thursday, he will return to work with his teammates, already in Ribeirão Preto.
Long-time wish of the board, Pottker was close to Cruzeiro in July, but negotiations have cooled off. The negotiations heated up again with the arrival of Scolari, who even called the attacker in an attempt to seduce him into coming to Fox’s Lair. The midfielder Maurício went to Internacional.

William Pottker fits the profile of reinforcements that Felipão intends for Serie B. The coach considers that the current Cruzeiro squad lacks experience. The player, in addition to shooting, already competed in the competition for Internacional in 2017. At that time, Colorado faced difficulties at first, but ended up gaining access.
Despite a clear preference for playing on the attacking edges, Pottker can also be an alternative to the “false 9”, a more mobile center forward. Felipão, however, usually uses a more reference player in the role, as Marcelo Moreno has been using.
